Our Story

In 1955 my grandfather opened the first Benjamin Moore paint store in Alaska, Ralph’s Paint Shop. Ralph’s was also the start of my family’s legacy; it instilled a love for paint in all of us.

My first job was stacking shelves at Curtis and Campbell, a shop opened by my grandfather and later co-owned by my father and uncle. Working there solidified my passion for paints and made me excited to help run the family business someday.

That dream was forced to evolve when Curtis and Campbell was sold in 2006 and closed in 2022. The sale of Curtis and Campbell felt like a great personal loss to me, but when my brother started Campbell Painting in 2006 I saw it as the perfect way to revive my dream.

Since I took over Campbell Painting in 2010, it has expanded to include 11 crews with over 35 employees operating year-round. We refuse to use subcontractors—100% of our labor is performed by trained W-2 employees. Furthermore, 30% of our workforce is Alaska Native, which strengthens our deep roots in the community and allows us to respect local cultural knowledge on regional projects.

Campbell Painting always has been, and always will be, a family business.

Our commitment to doing things right has earned us the "Top Job" Award from American Painting Contractor magazine three times (2021, 2022, 2024), including an award for our historic restoration of a 200-year-old Alaskan Pioneer Log Home. We maintain our grandfather's mission: delivering unmatched quality and service.
